Anti-immigrant attitudes are often explained in terms of ethnic boundaries in which a categorical distinction between the ethnic ingroup and immigrant outgroup is made. However, these attitudes might also result from contrasting cultural worldviews. We examined the importance of ethnic categorisation and perceived cultural worldview difference in explaining behavioural intentions towards immigrants. Using an experimental survey design with a national sample of ethnic Dutch respondents (N = 832), we studied two positive and two negative behavioural intentions towards either immigrants with a contrasting cultural worldview or co-ethnics with such as worldview. Our findings indicate similar behavioural intentions towards both target groups. Furthermore, except for “the intention to learn” there were no differences in behavioural intentions towards both target groups for respondents with lower and higher authoritarian dispositions. Overall, this pattern of findings is theoretically most in line with a worldview conflict perspective rather than an ethnic boundary perspective.

对移民的积极和消极行为意图：种族分类或世界观冲突的问题？

反移民态度通常用族群边界来解释，其中在族群内群体和移民外群体之间进行了绝对区分。然而，这些态度也可能源于不同的文化世界观。我们研究了种族分类和感知的文化世界观差异在解释对移民的行为意图方面的重要性。使用带有荷兰民族受访者的全国样本的实验性调查设计 ( N = 832），我们研究了对具有对比文化世界观的移民或具有诸如世界观的同族裔的两种积极和两种消极的行为意图。我们的发现表明对两个目标群体的行为意图相似。此外，除了“学习意图”之外，对于具有较低和较高威权倾向的受访者来说，对两个目标群体的行为意图没有差异。总的来说，这种发现模式在理论上最符合世界观冲突观点，而不是种族边界观点。
